How capable was the Shackleton for ASW?
I spent many happy Saturday mornings with my father, clambering around the inside of various Shackleton at Ballykelly. Sadly he is no longer here, so I can’t ask him, but I have been reading Chris Ashworth’s excellent book, which led me to wonder how effective the Shackleton was for ASW, which I suppose in the Cold War era meant detection and tracking?
His career started with Sunderlands, moved to Neptunes and then to the Shackleton in 1957, so I’m guessing that was a step up in capability?
Thanks
